Dr. Wes Neal has penned a story about fish habitat and how it affects production of your fish, Dr. Brian Graeb has a very interesting story about using habitat to “re-plumb” the food chain. Eric West has written about muddy water and the food chain. Mark Cornwell discovered young smallies in his pond…and it doesn’t make much sense. Or, does it? Read his story, very interesting about what we don’t know about our ponds. Wildlife biologist Dan VanSchaik writes about black bears. Do they live in your neck of the woods?
